Pinterest is a social sharing site similar to Twitter, but mainly using photographs rather than text or a link. User’s “follow” friends and people they are interested in and can view pictures posted on said person’s “board,” which is similar to a time line on Facebook.

Rob Johnson, executive director of the Texas Conservatives Fund, said the purpose of the account is to expose the real Ted Cruz to voters.

“It is hard to tell whether Ted Cruz has spent more time unsuccessfully running for office or more time running from his record,” Johnson said. “Now, Texans can log into Pinterest to learn more about the real Ted Cruz. He can whine and misrepresent the facts but Texans won’t be fooled by this former staffer.”

The fake Cruz Pinterest offers a “resume” which, among other “credentials,” offers up Cruz’s connection to Goldman Sachs.

“Remember the big bailout Goldman Sachs got? They must be important, because I represented them. Oh, and my wife is Vice President there,” the page reads.

The account also has a section for a “Texts from Ted” section, which takes aim at other GOP candidates in the race as well, primarily former ESPN analyst Craig James.

One “text” reads: “[To Craig James] Craig old buddy, please don’t ask me where I was born during the debate. Most people don’t know I’m secretly Canadian! Eh?”

The explosion of social media use on the campaign trail during the past four years has spawned similar accounts on Twitter.

For example, the @FakeTedCruz account, which Johnson said has no affiliation with the Texas Conservatives Fund, has sent more than 2,000 tweets and has more than 500 followers.

Dewhurst hasn’t completely sidestepped the satirical accounts. @FakeDewhurst1 has 700 followers but has only sent 167 tweets.

The personal description for the account is “Parody feed for David Dewhurst in his quest to be the world’s oldest freshman!”
